And there's a zero chance that drmgr will ever be fixed on LE?
It's always used the sysfs interface on LE, and the only way to provoke
it to attempt the syscalls is by doing something like this before
running the migration:
# echo 0 > /tmp/fake_api_version
# mount -o bind,ro /tmp/fake_api_version /sys/kernel/mobility/api_version
So I'm not aware of any circumstance that would actually motivate
someone to make it work on LE. I'd say it's more likely that drmgr will
drop its support for using the syscall altogether.
Okay. librtas should handle the error fine, so I don't have any huge
objection to this, though perhaps a documentation patch to librtas to
mention that these calls are BE-only would be in order.
